Tohatsu Corporation Announces the Newest Addition: MFS8C/9.9CY

Japanese outboard motor manufacturer, Tohatsu Corporation, has announced that it will add a new generation of 8/9.9 horsepower 4-stroke EFI models to its product range.

"We are extremely excited to introduce our lightest 8/9.9 horsepower 4-stroke EFI models." says Isami Hyuga, President of Tohatsu Corporation. Tohatsu's MFS8C/9.9CY is the lightest 2-cylinder 4-stroke 8/9.9 horsepower EFI outboard on the market which starts from only 38.5kg/84.9lbs.

The most significant advancement from the previous model is the implementation of electronic fuel injection system, where the previous model utilized a carburetor. EFI technology offers easy starting in variable conditions and altitudes, smooth idling and optimized fuel economy. The EFI system provides consistent, effortless starting and eliminates the need of a manual choke in cold weather conditions. Utilizing a T-MAP sensor and ISC valve, information is transmitted to the ECU, which enhances the air and fuel ratio in hot and cold environments. This technology also eliminates the need to adjust your outboard to operate at higher altitudes. This whole system will also allow the engine to perform a very stable idling. Additionally, the EFI system will eliminate the hassles experienced with carbureted models such as clogging and overhauling of the carburetor because of ethanol fuel related issues. Most certainly, the EFI system provides better fuel efficiency throughout the rpm range and managed to cut fuel consumption by up to 35%.
